Chef Israel's new restaurant will be called A Taste of Mexico.

We got wind of this in late September, and so it's good to see Chef Israel's project advancing, even if my waistline stands to be a major casualty of the reincarnation.

Former La Rosita owner to open another restaurant in New Albany, by Daniel Suddeath (N and T)

NEW ALBANY — The brains behind a once popular New Albany eatery plans to open a new Mexican cuisine restaurant.

Chef Israel Landin, who owned the former La Rosita restaurant, requested permission Tuesday from the New Albany Board of Public Works and Safety to place tables outside his new establishment.
A Taste of Mexico is planned for the former La Rosita location at 1515 E. Market St., though an exact opening date hasn’t been announced.
